Mon Jul 07 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Świątek Advances to Wimbledon Quarterfinals After Tauson Triumph
**London, UK** – Iga Świątek has secured her spot in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the second time in her career, defeating Clara Tauson 6-4, 6-1 in a compelling fourth-round match. The Polish world number one, one of only three top-10 WTA players remaining in the tournament alongside Aryna Sabalenka and Mirra Andreeva, overcame a shaky start to dominate the match.
Tauson, who previously ousted former Wimbledon champion Jelena Rybakina, proved a challenging opponent in the first set. Świątek struggled initially, facing two breaks in the opening games, with the commentators describing it as “tennis crime.” However, the Pole rallied to break back and eventually clinch the first set 6-4. Tauson requested a medical timeout at the end of the first set due to breathing problems.
The second set saw a more dominant performance from Świątek, who quickly secured a double break and raced to a 5-1 lead. Tauson struggled to keep up with Świątek’s pace and precision. Świątek will now be battling for a place in the semifinals.
Świątek’s path to the final has opened up with several top seeds already eliminated, including Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng, Coco Gauff, and Jessica Pegula. However, she will need to keep an eye on Andreeva, who is quickly closing the gap in the WTA rankings.
